Interesting that they said eruption green is a 2025-only color. TFL will beat this truck without mercy (towing, offroad, etc). These are the guys who made the tires explode on a Defender, and blew up the drivetrain on a new Tacoma. They will determine whether or not it's a real truck in very short order. Gonna be fun.

Edit... They did a second delivery video, and Zach officially declared the Maverick a real truck. So there you have it. TFL has spoken.

Nice!!! I think you routinely bested me on the original articles too!

I just started the video but I see it's an XLT. Is it 4K tow?

He said it’s 4k tow package

Crazy I'm paying less than $3,000 more than they paid for their XLT.

XLT lux with BAP gets my vote for worst value of any Maverick trim and option package. (they don't have BAP, I know. xlt lux by itself is not a good value against Lariat.)

Completely agree!

I mean - they don't have a SIBL either! I also have a moonroof.

So for $3k more I got - SIBL, Cargo management system, LED signature lighting, moonroof, intelligent access, active X seats, B&O, 360 degree cameras, CP360assist 2.0, acoustic glass, 19" wheels - so much value there.

if you look closely at the WS at 3:26 in the video, it shows the 4K tow package.

I usually like their videos, but "Hey Dad, what did you order?" "I dunno..."

Roman has never been one for the details to be honest but it’s gotten even worse lately.

Video #2 has dropped. @bgn maybe you can add it to your original post for visibility.

All anyone wants to know is how well it tows its rated capability and how well it does on minor "off road" trials or boat ramps.

I'm certain TFL will do some 4k towing. Not sure about the boat ramps part anytime soon as they're in Denver, lol.

Few videos I have watched of theirs I have never been that impressed with. Some of it could be just their presentation personas or they really could be that ill prepared/informed for the videos they do.

Either way some of the stuff they say makes me go really you didn't research that?

Either way the video was still a decent watch despite several of the inaccuracies.
